They say the only person you can trust is yourself. Rasuke doesn’t have that luxury.

Enter a world where humanity is all but extinct, where islands float in the sky, where angels and demons clash. It is a world where the warriors of the past and the technology of the future meet, where magic exists for some, and everything is upside down.

In this world lives a boy. He lives as the village freak and has a habit of waking up next to dead bodies with no explanation as to how they got there. But one thing is certain: there’s definitely something very, very wrong.

All he wants is the chance to know where he came from, and what it’s like to be human… but when he does, he will be caught in between the many forces of this world. It is up to him to survive, and to find the meaning in it all.

The Third Face is a tale of adventure, horror, romance, and, sometimes, utter nonsense. Phil N. Schipper’s debut novel sets in motion not only an epic trilogy, but an entire universe.

Phil N. Schipper is a lifelong author from Southwest Michigan, though you can just refer to him as “that weird book guy” if you'd like. He spends most of his time writing, reading, and editing books. He does all this in the hopes of being a professional author.

Until then, however, he is forced to make a livelihood through his day job, which is usually little more than grunt work. At the same time, he is pursuing a Master's Degree in Fine Arts (MFA), which is basically a college degree that lets you get credit for things like writing books.

Consequently, he is rather busy, and has little time (and money) for his other hobbies: video games, Japanese cartoons, and the collection of deadly weapons. The latter includes swords, daggers, scythes, and potentially many more. He is always up for a good sword fight.
